Smart Electric Bicycle

Abstract

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) has gained significant momentum globally due to concerns over environmental sustainability and energy security. This project aims to design and develop an electric vehicle system that addresses the challenges such as range anxiety, charging infrastructure, and cost. The project will involve the integration of battery technologies, electric motors, power electronics, and control systems to optimize efficiency and enhance driving experience. Through this project, we aim to contribute to the advancement of electric vehicle technology and accelerate the adoption of sustainable transportation solutions. The project employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining principles from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and human factors design. Key components of the project include the selection and integration of high-performance lithium-ion battery packs, the development of efficient motor control algorithms, and the implementation of user-friendly interface systems for seamless interaction between the rider and the e-bike. This project focuses on the implementation of voice control features for an electric bicycle, enhancing user convenience and accessibility. The system integrates voice commands for starting and stopping the bicycle, as well as monitoring the battery level through a start of charge mechanism. Key components utilized include a BLDC motor, controller, and Battery Management System (BMS). The voice control functionality offers a hands-free operation experience, ensuring safety and ease of use for riders. By leveraging modern technology, this project aims to demonstrate the feasibility and practicality of integrating voice commands into electric bicycles, thereby enhancing their functionality and user experience.
